School is starting soon! And boy, do we have a lot to think about as parents. Homeschool? Remote learning? Private school? School full-time? Depending on the school district you’re in, you might be in the same boat.
Whatever choice you make, just know that it’s a hard one! And that you can always change it. I hope that life will look different in 2021 – this can’t last forever, can it?
One thing that I find really helpful in times of transition is to keep things simple where I can. Meaning: if work is crazy, try to calm down home life. And vice versa! And right now, transitioning back to school is a little stressful. Not majorly, but a little bit.
One of the things that I can keep simple is my dinner menu. Plan it out. Keep it simple. Execute it. This month I’ve put in quite a bit of slow cooker meals. Since I’m still working from home, slow cooker meals are e-a-s-y for me! I can duck out into the kitchen and start it whenever the time is right. That works for me.
Whatever works for you — is what you should do. BUT if you need a place to start, try this menu plan!
